"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, I'm so happy to be a mourner today!" Empress Dowager Hui smiled. "Wen'er, come over and let the imperial grandmother take a look, you haven't come to greet the imperial grandmother for months!

Xiao Yuwen walked forward with a faint smile on his face, "Grandmother Lao Huang is worried, it's okay." ”

Empress Dowager Hui touched Xiao Yuwen's face, "Wen'er has lost weight again?" Yu'er, you are busy with government affairs all day, but you also have to take time to care about Wen'er, how can I see him getting thinner and thinner every time?"

"Imperial Grandmother, I'm fine. Xiao Yuwen smiled lightly, and even his eyes softened a lot.

"Imperial grandmother, there are so many of us here, why is there only the third brother in the eyes of the imperial grandmother, I'm going to be jealous!" Xiao Manxue pouted, when Xiao Yuwen was not in the palace, she was the most favored by the imperial grandmother, and once he came back, everyone stepped aside.

"Okay, well, the vines are also here, and let the imperial grandmother take a good look! Have you caused trouble for your father again recently?" said the Empress Dowager Hui lovingly.

"Manman's no, Manman's obedient!" Xiao Manxue walked over and coquettishly grabbed Empress Dowager Hui's hand.

"It's good, it's good!" Empress Dowager Hui happily held Xiao Manxue's hand, and looked at Lin Wanyan, who was still smiling there. "Princess Wanyan also came over to let the mourning family take a look!"

When Lin Wanyan heard his name, he walked forward, and Xiao Yuwen naturally stepped aside, without even looking at Lin Wanyan.

"I like you girl at first glance, you look so handsome!" Empress Dowager Hui looked at Lin Wanyan carefully and boasted.

"The Queen Mother praised it!" Lin Wanyan smiled lightly, the Empress Dowager Hui looked like she had the kindness of her grandmother, and even the wrinkles were full of blessings from her children and grandchildren when she smiled.

"Wen'er!" Empress Dowager Hui beckoned to Xiao Yuwen.

Xiao Yuwen walked forward again, his eyes did not squint, and there seemed to be only Empress Dowager Hui in his eyes.

Empress Dowager Hui looked at Xiao Yuwen and then at Lin Wanyan, as if she was quickly comparing the common beauty of the two precious treasures. "I saw that Wen'er and the girl were very close. ”

Lin Wanyan is not laughing, nor is he not laughing, he can only freeze there. There's no way to answer the phone, there are three princes of the right age, how can they all think that they and Xiao Yuwen should be a couple?

Xiao Yuwen stood calmly and did not speak.

"Father, you see I'm not wrong, the imperial grandmother thinks so too!" Xiao Manxue winked at Xiao Yu proudly, it seems that Brother Yuwen has always been the best in the eyes of everyone, so a talented person should be worthy of a beauty like Princess Wanyan.

Xiao Yu smiled, "Queen Mother, Erchen also thinks that these two children are very right. ”

"Yi'er Chen also looks very good, Princess Wanyan has a good talent, a gentle temperament, and knows how to advance and retreat, he will definitely be Wen'er's virtuous helper one day. Xiao Shen also smiled and added to the fire.

Empress Dowager Hui listened to Xiao Shen's words, and couldn't help but glance at Lin Wanyan a few more times, there are not many women who can be praised by her Eighth Emperor. Then he looked at Xiao Yuwen's cold face and said to Lin Wanyan: "Wanyan girl, although Wen'er is a little weaker and her temperament is a little colder, she is very careful, sensible, and very distressed. ”

Lin Wanyan could only smile politely and appropriately when she heard this. Very distressed, she admitted, she also knows that she is cold. She didn't believe it because she was weak, who could toss so much last night, and her waist was about to break! This guy is too capable of pretending, and he has deceived so many people.

"I'm not that good. Xiao Yuwen came out coldly.

Hearing this, Lin Wanyan couldn't help but glance at him, if he hadn't known him for a long time, he looked so cold today, he really didn't want to look at him more.

But after taking such a closer look, she found that Xiao Yuwen's face was indeed ugly, even her lips were pale, except for those cold but divine eyes, which looked completely sick. He wasn't like this when he left, could it be that what happened next? Lin Wanyan couldn't help but worry in his heart.

"You kid!" Empress Dowager Hui glanced at Xiao Yuwen helplessly, and then looked at Lin Wanyan lovingly. "Girl, if Wen'er bullies you one day, you will come to sue the mourning family, and the mourning family will make the decision for you!"

Lin Wanyan lowered her head shyly, in fact, she didn't know what to say, this is what she did?

"Imperial grandmother, the weather is good, why don't Wen'er accompany you to the Imperial Garden for a walk!" Xiao Yuwen said lightly.

"Good, good!" Empress Dowager Hui nodded happily. "You two girls are also accompanied, Yu'er and Shen'er will go their separate ways!"

"The queen mother is driving us away!" Xiao Shen said with a smile.

"No one is more important than my imperial grandson and imperial grandson's daughter-in-law at this time!" Empress Dowager Hui said as she wanted to get up, and Xiao Yuwen stepped forward to support her intimately.

Xiao Yu and Xiao Shen looked at each other and smiled, then said nothing, and followed out of the Empress Dowager Hui's bedroom.

Empress Dowager Hui is Xiao Yuwen on her left, Xiao Manxue and Lin Wanyan on her right, followed by Chiyan, Lu Ying, Xiao Manxue and a few of her maids, and the group slowly walked towards the imperial garden.

Along the way, Xiao Manxue was talking with the Empress Dowager Hui, telling some interesting things in and out of the palace, which made her laugh from time to time. Xiao Yuwen has always had a cold face, and Lin Wanyan also smiled and walked quietly.

There are already many women who entered the palace for a banquet in the imperial garden today to enjoy the flowers in the garden, and when they saw the Empress Dowager Hui, they saluted and greeted. Lin Wanyan didn't say anything, but she clearly felt that they were afraid of Xiao Yuwen and wanted to be close, and at the same time, she reaped the hostility in their eyes when they looked at her.

Women, if you haven't tried to be jealous, you don't know how ugly you can be, Lin Wanyan sighed in her heart. However, she was very satisfied with Xiao Yuwen's coldness, and she also said to herself, "No need to be polite", and she didn't match a word about these women.

The sharp-eyed Lin Wanyan recognized her as the woman who intercepted her Hu in Li Qingqing's mansion that day before Qin Yuan reported herself. This Qin Yuan is very good-looking, and her words and deeds are also dignified and decent, but Lin Wanyan looked at her and felt that this woman was very thoughtful, and it seemed that she was a difficult master.

After Qin Yuan left, Xiao Manxue leaned into Lin Wanyan's ear and said, "This Qin Yuan has loved Brother Yuwen since she was a child, but Brother Yuwen doesn't want to see her!"

Lin Wanyan pursed her lips and didn't say anything. She is not worried at all, it's just today, tomorrow Xiao Yuwen will definitely go to Xitang, at least for two days, and when she comes back, it will be the day she leaves, as long as she goes out of the house smoothly and meets Zhiwei, all this will be over.

Coming out of the imperial garden, the group walked towards the Qiankun Hall where today's banquet was held. When they arrived, everyone had already entered the banquet, and when they saw the Queen Mother enter the palace, they saluted.

Lin Wanyan found that the specifications of this birthday banquet were not inferior to the palace banquet that she entertained herself last time, but except for the princess, princess, princess and concubine, the others who went to the banquet were all young women dressed up in fancy clothes. She figured out that this was obviously a birthday banquet, but in fact it was just Xiao Yuwen's wife selection banquet.

The banquet table was also arranged in advance, and the emperor, queen, and queen mother sat at the golden dragon banquet table. The first seat in the east is Xiao Shen, the first seat in the west is Xiao Yuwen, and Lin Wanyan is arranged in the second seat in the west.

When he sat down, Xiao Yuwen turned around and pretended to glance at Lin Wanyan inadvertently, but Lin Wanyan glanced at him unhappily. Xiao Yuwen sat down expressionlessly, as if he had never seen her displeasure.

The prelude to the banquet is still the palace song and dance performance, according to the convention, after the song and dance is officially opened, the emperor gives everyone food and wine. I never thought that the emperor announced the book of the Ministry of Rites.

What is the emperor going to do, even Queen Yan Yiwei, who has always been unable to escape her ears in everything, doesn't know. The book of the Ministry of Rites is either a reward or a punishment. There must be a reward at such a banquet, but why is there no news about this reward before?

From the Minister of Zhongshu to draft a decree, the emperor will hand it over to the Ministry of Men for approval and archiving, and then send it to the Shangshu Province, which will take three days at the earliest. How could it be that no news was revealed during this period?

After Zhao Gu'an, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, visited the emperor and others, everyone in front of the Golden Dragon Banquet table knelt down to listen to Zhao.

On August 12 of the 18th year of Jiali, Emperor Dashenyue said:

The third son of the emperor, Yuwen, is talented, gentle, pure, humble and friendly. The favor of the lotus God, enlightening the heart and protecting, the third son of the emperor is now eighteen, and the auspicious light of the great god Yue is specially named King Jin. It is advisable to order the priest to choose a day, prepare a gift and ordain, and the Lord will carry it out.

Although Xiao Yuwen was as surprised as everyone else, he was always calm and calm, and he still accepted the edict with a normal face and thanked the emperor.

Everyone paid homage to King Jin, and the feast continued. Except for Xiao Yuwen's cold face, everyone in the hall seemed to be smiling. It's just that Lin Wanyan obviously feels that the atmosphere is a little depressing, and it seems that this King Jin is not good.

The first person who came to congratulate Xiao Yuwen was the eldest prince Xiao Yucheng, Xiao Yuwen didn't even bother to say hello, and refused to say a few words thousands of miles away. Xiao Yucheng came over and exchanged a few words with Lin Wanyan. The princes and princesses in the back are all operating like this, Lin Wanyan can't help but be a little irritable, it is Xiao Yuwen who is the king, and she is deflated by him, and she has to deal with it for no reason.

Lin Wanyan was about to quietly retreat outside the hall to breathe, but the queen began to ask the women to congratulate King Jin for performing their talents. For a while, the women below were eager to try, because it was Qin Yuan who stood up first, and Lin Wanyan sat patiently and watched.

Qin Yuan was graceful, saluted the emperor and others, and deliberately bowed sideways to Xiao Yuwen. This made Lin Wanyan sneer, and after laughing, she found that she had lost her temper, and took a sip of the tea in front of her. Xiao Yuwen stared at her slightly unconsciously.

Lin Wanyan had to admit that Qin Yuan's Yaoqin played well, and her posture was soft and smooth. However, compared to Zhiwei, there is still a lot less charm, Zhiwei is comfortable playing Yaoqin, and he only pleases himself, Qin Yuan obviously did not reach that realm. But it's still very good, she thought to herself, there are still a lot of talented women in ancient times.

After the song was finished, Qin Yuan bowed her body and saluted, and she was praised by the emperor and the queen, only to see her smile modestly, and said to the emperor and the queen: "The little girl is not talented! Yesterday, I heard that Princess Wanyan Yaoqin played very well, and she actually compared to the Zhiwei girls in Jiangyuefang! I wonder if I am lucky enough to ask Princess Wanyan to play a song for King Jin today?"

"Oh!" Xiao Yu muttered. Where is this Jiangyuefang, and who is Miss Zhiwei, everyone knows it. A dignified princess of Tanglin went to such a place, and it was not a good talk to be public, but this Qin Yuan didn't seem to be a good person.
